very pleasant listening experience. your hard work in the beginning seems to pay, the songs sound very professional and original. i especially like the vocals. good thing that you don't kill all the music with growls or something similarly unhealthy, as many talented metal bands do.
and i added you (knorke suedfrucht)

Inspirations are rather opethbvious, but it's still rather good. Even fantastic in places.

Fsck me, actually it's wishlist worthy. Beautiful guitar work - I like that trend to avoid powerchords :)

Good music. "Stay" is much better than the other song, in my opinion.
The production is listenable too, except that MySpace fucks up the bitrate. Do you have an official website, where I can download the full mp3s? Or even better, can I order the EP somewhere?

(had a little giggle when I read "Member Search!" in the blog)

yeah the drums are complete shit. We recorded with digital drums and then transformed it into realsound. It was at the time unpractical timewise and for obvious reasons to use real drums since it occured at a friends appartment. So there's not alot of variety in the hits nor range in the dynamics, and the drumsound itself was total crap. We chose it after 6 hours of mixing in a small studio room, everything sounds good at that point. We had digital drums for the second track "stay" aswell but with better mixing and drumsound, still we're aiming alot higher, you know...real drums :P

hehe thanx alot, yes these songs are from the "early days" when we were only finding ourselves, there are definitely some clear influences at times.
We have hours of new material waiting to be recorded once we get our rehearsal location studio built up :)

Yes, why are you doubting it would be me?
I mean, common, I have an empty bottle of Brämhults Mango Smoothie in my hand, those headphones around my neck and a twisted facial expression. I cannot be anything else than the drummer of Koi.
Peace oot.

No the homepage is in progress, only were not sure what to call it since all the ”Koi” sites are occupated by some fucking fish salesment. It seems it does not only mean ”Moth” in finnish, it’s also somekind of asian goldfish specie >_<
Unfortunately we have no EP, the recording session got aborted for ekonomical reasons, the songs on our myspace are a part of something that was to become a concept EP. We will perhaps finish it one day on our own, but now we are mainly consentrating forward. But thanks for the offer, very flattering :) I can send you the songs if you wish.

Hey Ike, i saw your paintings in the other thread, totally amazing work...really. you said something about painting for album covers. We kinda have a theme for the concept in a supposed forthcoming album that probably would suite your style. It would be awesome, we would pay anything for it :D

Better not say the "M-word" out loud here. Good thing Blazingmonga is gone for a few days or he would be harassing you :P

Heeeeeeeeeerrrreee's....Monga! (think 'The Shining').

So, Mr Shapeless. Was the smoothie good? Did it make you feel all nice inside? Did it make you feel like you could do anything?

I want your babies. I mean mangoes. Yes, mangoes. Give me those.
